Lately I've noticed the trolling is switching to "provoke" tactic. One troll (you wouldn't guess which one) seemed to mistake something said on the thread, thought I was angry, and sent me a pm telling me I'm "obviously mentally ill" etc. in an attempt to provoke an angry response. That's the troll theme -> some claim were crazy and a cult, then they claim we are H8ters if we rebut them. That's what tonight's gambit seems like to me.

We saw that with Kavanaugh - insult him and then complain loudly that he's belligerent when he responds. I think that' may be what is being done on our thread (same kind of language posted to me a few threads ago) and to our posters who travel the forum. Just my theory.

You know what happens? Whatever behavior you notice is what you get more of. I simply ignore them. Your theory makes a lot of sense.

Lately I've noticed trolls and a few of the anti-Q posters are switching to "provoke" tactic. A few threads back, a troll (you wouldn't guess which one) that pretends it doesn't read our threads misunderstood something posted and thought I was angry; it quickly sent me an insulting pm in an attempt to provoke an angry response. I think that's that's the strategy now among trolls and some anti-Q's who want our threads gone -> some claim were crazy and a cult, then they claim we are H8ters if we rebut them. That's what tonight's gambit seems like to me.

We saw that with Kavanaugh - insult him and then complain loudly that he's belligerent when he responds. I think that may be what is being done on our thread (similar post to me a few threads ago) and to some of our posters who travel the forum. Please ignore it - it means nothing. Leave them starving for attention. :D

MAGA!

TROLLS - Next we'll see them 2, or 3 at a time working off each other.

Attacks will increase, the Angry Left-Wing Mob is just getting started.
